About Our Club

Founded in 1856, we are a club for people who are interested in maintaining the German culture, customs, language and music. We want to keep the German culture alive for expats, future generations, and anyone who enjoys and has an interest in German culture and community. Whether you are native German, of German heritage, or just love all things German, we have activities, groups, and events for everyone. We strive to provide a sociable place for friends, fun, and Gemütlichkeit!

Our Leadership

Our club is administered by an all-volunteer leadership team that is dedicated to running the club. Comprised of a Board of Directors, group leaders, and committee leaders, together this team takes care of all functions of our club. Each leader is responsible for managing a different area of the Germania Verein.
